Furbearer Kill Tags

     A person who intends to harvest bobcat, otter, fisher or marten must request and shall be issued free kill tags for these species. These tags are available Sept. 15 through the last day of the hunting and trapping season for that furbearer. Kill tags will be available from license agents or by contacting any DNR Operations Service Center . A person who kills a bobcat, otter, fisher or marten shall immediately validate the tag and attach the tag to the hide from the upper jaw to the eye socket or through the lower jaw. Persons under eight years of age may not obtain a kill tag for bobcat, otter, fisher or marten.
    Because of the change in stock for the new license year beginning March 1,
2009, otter tags for 2008-2009 will be available from license dealers only from Sept. 15, 2008 to Mar. 1, 2009. After March 1, individuals who have not obtained '08-'09 otter kill tags should contact a  DNR Operations Service Center to request tags.
